This is a really strange one. I don't know exactly what I was writing about, but it sounds like guilt. This one was penned when I was 17 or 18. It was a reel-to-reel recording and it was on "First Journey to the Sun", I think. (8-6-06)

Story behind the song
I wrote songs every day and sometimes it's hard to recall what inspired a given tune. I remember that this was on 'First Journey to the Sun' and I remember writing the little hook for it. I used to sing it with the hook, not with the rhythm when playing it for myself. I have no real recollection of what was in my mind when I wrote it.
Lyrics
Face in the Mirror
Face in the Mirror,
Leave me alone!
It maybe a mirage,
It maybe ain't so!
You're always there to haunt me,
Everywhere I turn.
I'm hunted and I'm hungry,
I'm empty and I burn!
Face in the Mirror,
Say it ain't so!
Could I be clearer?
Leave me alone!
You're always there to haunt me,
Everywhere I turn.
I'm hunted and I'm hungry,
I'm empty and I burn!
Face in the Mirror
Face in the Mirror
Face in the Mirror
